I don't think we're going to do beta testing for the editor, but it will be publicly released as soon as it's workable, because it's the main thing bogging down the Portal Prelude release.

I really can't wait for a release. Make sure the first few levels are easy to beat, though. I kinda dislike when a game starts so hard that we can't even go through the first level, like Donut Quest.

Don't worry, utmost care is being taken to ensure the levels are fun, challenging, and progress smoothly from easy to difficult :) Also care is being taken to ensure the driving force behind puzzles is not *get your character in the right pixel exactly uber hax0r FPS omg super precise* kind of puzzle, but trying to ensure that the difficulty in each puzzle is trying to figure out *what* to do, rather than how to do it.

Sunday release is not going to happen, because as of now the level editor has not been finished (to my knowledge at least) and there are still some more levels to be created.  As well as finishing up the writing of the text content and getting that ingame.  There might be 1 more beta (possibly not closed) before the final release to once more iron out bugs and ensure level progression is optimal.

I like the order it's in, except that level 27 takes a bit to solve. But then it's at the end, anyway :D

The level editor is coming along, and a reasonable estimate for the completion of the level editor is the end of this week, hopefully it's done by then. I'm not sure when the second beta will be released, because I don't know if the level editor really is the only thing holding it back.

Wait. Are you telling me that there is already a release and I missed it (O.O) or are you talking about the beta-tester release (:'()
